If talks don't work out, the United States is prepared to take strong military action." According to Trump, either things will move very fast, otherwise the path to talks will be closed. His statement is being seen as increasing American pressure on Iran. Donald Trump said in an interview with Axios that if there is not enough time left for talks with Iran. When asked how much time he is willing to give to diplomacy, he bluntly said that there is little time. The matter will either move very fast or the matter will be resolved completely.
